I am unable to do this with my iphone. Apparently there is a workaround to make it possible, but I a) dont understand it, and b) from what I do understand, I need to download and install more packages in Ubuntu, but that would require an internet connection, and right now my only option is a tethered iphone!!

Yes, after you enable unofficial/community BlueTooth DUN support.

Plus the unofficial/unsupported DUN server on the N900.

Hmmm, interesting, thanks for that. What about through the USB cable, would that work straight out of the box?

That is pretty cool -- you can make your N810 go online through your N900.

This is strange. The N900 is linux based phone yet it is not "out-of-the-box" ready to work with linux.

There doesn't seem to be a 64-bit version. I'll submit a feature request.

Addendum: Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic with Blueman works _perfect_ with Bluetooth DUN/PAN because Network-Manager now supports these profiles! You set up your GPRS account (APN is important setting), select 'auto connect', then you configure Bluetooth via Blueman. Then you connect with Blueman to phone's N900 DUN (or, if you prefer, PAN) and Network-Manager will automagically enable PPP setup. You can even add another hook for VPN. So, no more need for wvdial. Even more perfect would be, if computer running Karmic would detect there is no WLAN, and then auto try Bluetooth, for example via BlueProximity.
